Resources to Do SchYPAR
Pre-Planning & Reflection
Before diving into YPAR, pause to reflect on your context, goals, and role as a facilitator. These tools support educators in imagining what YPAR could look like in their classrooms, anticipating challenges, and identifying opportunities to center student voice and leadership. Use reflection guides to align YPAR with your teaching style, school culture, and students’ lived realities.
Unit Planner
Move from vision to action with planning tools that help you map your YPAR journey phase by phase. Use the Unit Planner and YPAR Guide Table to outline goals, pacing, and scaffolds, build flexible timelines, and design learning experiences that support students as researchers, storytellers, and changemakers.

Looking for classroom-ready supports organized by YPAR phase? These resources include graphic organizers, sample unit calendars, lesson planning tools, suggested scaffolds, and phase-specific checklists to support data collection, analysis, and action. Materials are designed to be adaptable across contexts and responsive to student inquiry.
